Der Alptraummann (The nightmare man)

Sven H. is her fairytale prince, says Julia. The man to marry with whom she emigrates to a remote place in Sweden. What Julia does not know, however, is that Sven has many secrets. Fraud, bigamy, imprisonment, betrayed wives, secret children – lies are littered are littered throughout his past. Sven is more of a nightmare man than a fairytale prince. And he´s not afraid of doing more evil deeds.

Using extensive, previously unreleased documentary material, the series documents a couple who want to start a new life in Lapland. What should have been a happily ever after, ends in tragedy.
